The PEE technique

As well as having lots of ideas, you need to explain them clearly. One really effective way of doing this is to use PEE .
Point
Evidence
Explanation
So if you're answering a question, state your point, back it up with a piece of evidence and then explain it.

Try out the PEE method. Here's an extract from 'Holes' about Stanley and the prison work camp.

Find two features of Stanley's character and explain how they are suggested. Write your answer down and then compare it to ours.

Stanley and his parents had tried to pretend that he was just going away to camp for a while, just like rich kids do. When Stanley was younger he used to play with stuffed animals, and pretend the animals were at camp. Camp Fun and Games he called it. Sometimes he'd have them play soccer with a marble. Other times they'd run an obstacle course, or go bungee jumping off a table, tied to broken rubber bands. Now Stanley tried to pretend he was going to Camp Fun and Games. Maybe he'd make some friends, he thought. At least he'd get to swim in the lake.
'Holes' - Louis Sachar

Homework:  Find two features of Stanley's character and explain how they are suggested.  Write a PEE paragraph to prove your assertions.

Paragraph we wrote in class:

     Foreshadowing is a writing technique used to create suspense and to inform readers that a future event will occur.  If you read the landlady carefully, you will find a lot of foreshadowing examples used by Roald Dahl.  One of the examples used is, “Then if I happen to forget what you were called I can always come down here and look it up.” (line 183-187).  This quotation suggests that something sinister is going to happen to Mr. Weaver. This also suggests that Mr. Mulholland was subjected to this terrible destiny.

Homework:  Use your list of 7 to build a table with 2 columns:  

             Example of Foreshadowing,                        What is Being Foreshadowed 

example:

“And now a queer thing happened to him. He was in the act of stepping back and turning away from the window when all at once his eye was caught and held in the most peculiar manner by the small notice that was there.”  (line 25)

The words “queer” and “peculiar” indicate that something is happening beyond Billy’s control. The use of these words suggest he should be on the alert.
